downpipe pictures

[mark]

im converting to a 63 turbine housing/wg on my spirit r/t etc etc etc...

and I need to fab up a downpipe and ditch the stock downpipe/wg housing.

does anyone have any decent pictures of their work.

OR if anyone has one for sale, please let me know. thank you

What exact housing are you talking about? Turbonetics 5 bolt? If so I have a few ideas for you

That is a seriously thick flange Pat, how thick is it?? I was gonna use 1/2" SS but my laser cutter said because of the heat dissapation on SS, he can't get through something that thick. He said he can go to just over 1/2" on mild steel, beyond that it's water jet and I don't have a hook up for that work Did you go that thick just for clearance issues?

It's the ATP 'Ultimate Internal Swingvalve'

I'm going to buy one of these if/when I get a T3/T4 for my Spirit R/T. Do you guys think this ATP downpipe would work though?

I was looking at that one also. I was hoping someone else would try it an let us all know Sounds like a good job for you Jeremy

i am not sure i'd put my WB02 that close to the outlet...

The v band flange? It's not that thick. I'll try to measure it for you, but it's no thicker than a standard Vband flange.

As iTurbo said, this is the ATP piece. It's much better than the FM swingvalve/down spout that was on the car before.

I'm not so sure that would work. On mine, I actually had to run two separate angles on the downpipe. One was the angle for the hook out of the turbo and back around. The second angle where the downpipe straightens back out is actually angled up a bit also to get between the rack and floorboard tunnel. The ATP piece looks like it would be very difficult to make that 2nd angle.

Good to know, thanks Pat. You cut up some 180' bends for yours right? It looks great. For somebody like me who can't weld, it's tempting to buy an off-the-shelf part.

Yes, just some cut out 180's. You might be able to use the ATP piece, but I think it may be risky for clearance.

Found the camera and took a few quick pics of that was on my car when I bought it. Sorry it's so greasy, the car had a few pretty decent leaks.

From the dead thread pile but I bought a T3/T4 hybrid for the Rampage, T4 B series housing (kinda smallish for good spool) V trim comprssor, .63 five bolt exhaust housing with STGII turbine wheel. The maps show it moving 51lbs of air at 20PSI but the builder thinks that may be a bit optimistic He says 48 is closer to actual, still the goal is only 350WHP so it should supply that at lower than 20 of boost.

Any, I gotta build the swingvalve/downpipe now.

86 Shelby, is that the ATP universal SV/flange on your downpipe?

Has anyone else used the ATP piece?

ATP now has another option, it is a pice of SS tube that has been 'ovaled' out to fit one of their five bolt flanges, you dont have the V band that way but it looks like the flow would be better than thier universal assembly. Don't know without both side by side in my hands. Universal is less fabrication for sure. Got that Vegas MATS deadline...

I think that dp could work with some fabbing. It looks tight enough that it will clear the power steering pump. For that kind of money, you could go with the FM unit and have the stock flex joint.

Nope. I believe the P.O. got it from FWDP. It was just the housing with the 9" or so of mandrel bent 2.75" pipe. An exhaust shop did the rest.

I am using the ATP "ultimate internal wastegate" on my R/T and I really like it. For a downpipe, I bought their elbow and a couple 45* bends and it worked out really well.

[2.216VTurbo]

Sweet, that looks good Tyler. Looks like you had to cut the bottom off the elbow they supplied eh? Or did a second V band at the bottom just not work for your set up? Using a flex section anywhere or is there enough movement in the single V band for you?

Tyler, looks like your firewall is cracked?

I wanted to keep the V band at the end of the elbow just to make pulling things apart easier, but it was just too close to the steering rack. I did end up putting a flex pipe in right before the cat, but with all the solid mounts, I think I could have gotten away with out it. If I hadn't already bought it I probably wouldn't have used it. Here are a couple more pictures, but they aren't very good. Btw, im not quite sure why I hear everyone say their downpipe comes close to the power steering pump. I didn't have any fitment issues with mine. I think I could squeeze a 5" pipe in there if I was so inclined. Your lucky that you dont even have a pump.
